Extract audio from video
A video has a line of dialogue, a song, a recording you want to keep, but you only want the sound. Toss the picture, keep the track, drop it into earbuds, podcasts, or your next edit - lighter than carrying the video with you.
Supported video sources
Eight containers are covered: MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV, WMV. The editor itself never opens video; it only treats video as an "audio source."
Audio output formats
Once the track is pulled, pick one of four formats as the container: MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG.
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| MP3 | The universal one - supported by virtually every device and player |
| WAV | Uncompressed master, ideal for further editing or archival |
| FLAC | Lossless compression, about half the size of WAV |
| OGG | Open-source container, preferred by some professional gear |
How to use
Pick one or more videos from Photos or Files. After selection, a format chip appears at the top. Pick MP3 for general use, WAV to keep as a master, FLAC when you want lossless but find WAV too large - whatever the situation calls for.
How processing works
Pick one or more videos at once, and the audio track is pulled from each. The original video stays untouched - what comes out is a new file, and which one you keep is up to you.
Where output lands
When done, the audio file is first written to the app's sandbox directory (named after the source video with the new extension), then a prompt asks you to "Save to Files" so the iOS Files app can place it in your chosen folder. The extracted MP3/WAV/FLAC/OGG doesn't go into Photos directly. The original video isn't touched.
Fully on-device
Video and audio files stay on your iPhone the whole time - never uploaded, never routed through any server. Even if you're underground with no signal, exporting still works.
